Stephan Jäger (born 30 May 1989), also known as Stephan Jaeger, is a German professional golfer. He played collegiate golf at University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.

He qualified for the 2015 U.S. Open where he would shoot 74-80 to miss the cut.[1]

At the 2016 Ellie Mae Classic, Jäger shot a 58 in the first round and followed it up with rounds of 65-64-63 to claim his first Web.com Tour victory. He set the 72-hole aggregate record with his 250[2] and tied the to-par record, at 30 under par,[3] and won by 7 strokes over Rhein Gibson. He also set the 36-hole and 54-hole records.[4] Despite the win, Jäger finished 28th on the regular season money list, three spots short of a guaranteed PGA Tour card.

In 2018, Jäger won the Knoxville Open, his fourth Web.com Tour victory. Despite again failing to make the Top 25 in the regular season money list, Jäger earned his PGA Tour card by finishing in the Top 25 on the tour's finals money list.[5]
